What beer Are You Drinking Now? #3932

Hey Gang!

I got a Cigar City Peach White Oak Jai Alai in the glass.,., Cheeeeers!

Canned in April, I thought it would fall apart, as Jai Alai is known to do.,., but the oak spires bring a nice vanilla note, the familiar hop is present, and the peach is subtle.
Nice summer crusher.,.

Jukebox Dime! Aloha From Hell.,.

 

Toppling Goliath MoZee (6.2% canned 7/10/23): A NEIPA from Iowa with Nelson and Mosaic for flavors of grapefruit, kiwi, mango, pineapple.

Excellent hop combo of Nelson and Mosaic, and becoming one of my favorite combinations. Grapes and vinous tones from the Nelson mix with the tropical berries and mango from Mosaic. Extremely hoppy flavorful, yet dry and clean. Extremely drinkable and enjoyable at the 6.2%. I'd prefer this over most DIPAs. A World-Class NEIPA at only 6.2%. A summer gem.

 

Deschutes Abyss Coconut... Outstanding.

 

Duvel Tripel Hop Citra.
Cheers

 

Another brew....to hydrate, of course

 

Hello Advocates!

Absurd levels of humidity out there today with occasional storms.

Great day to stay in the climate-controlled homestead and sip on some cold ones.

First up, from Notch, is German Afternoons. This one's growing on me.



Cheers BAs!

 

Cheers!

 

Ez 10 miler this morning, after coffee, now settling in with some vibration gun time (LOL) for my tired calves and some NA/UA Juicy.

Tough 30k on Saturday, last little tune-up race-test, we'll see how that goes. LT-100 is three weeks away.... *gulp*

Cheers all... a little MFDoom/Jazz riff for ya today.

 

Drinking Fiden’s Overshadow Double IPA, it is amazingly humid here

 

Cheers!

Sky rockets in flight, afternoon delight.

Honorable Mentions: Hurts So Good and Jack & Diane (Both 1982), Pink Houses (1983) and Cherry Bomb (1987).

 

1) Equilibrium Ocean Vibes (8.0% canned 5/11/23): A NEIPA from NY, in collab with Vitamin Sea, with Citra, Idaho 7, Galaxy, Sabro lactose for flavors of orange, green guava and melon, pineapple, with some peach and mango creamsicle.
versus
2) Parish Brewing Okra (8.0% canned 6/27/23): A NEIPA from Louisiana, in collab with Other Half, with Nelson, Moteuka, Nectaron for flavors of key lime zest, Sauvignon Blanc spritz, ripe pineapple, and juicy Alphonso mangoes. (Correctly matched the two beers blind)

Winner:
1) EQ Ocean Vibes: The age-old Equilibrium vs Other Half Battle. First try at this one from Parish. It has all NZ hops. Vinous, citrus, zesty. Drinks fairly clean and dry. Loving the NZ hops flavors, but the pour, carbonation, and mouthfeel could use some work. I wouldn't guess it's from Other Half. On the other Hand Ocean Vibes is another one from EQ and a little older. Great Idaho 7 and Sabro for the pineapple, coconut, and green mango skin flavors. Signature EQ green mango skins flavors with the memorable creamy body. I've always been an EQ man, but I've also had some really good ones from Other Half.

 

I love that group. Don't know much about them, except the New Jazz Underground YouTube page is awesome and they have a wicked sense of humor

Anyway, I'll be back later, going out for some Vietnamese...

 

Doing a little front brake maint on the old dirt bike with Brakleen brand parts cleaner. I use that shit for the brake rotors on my trucks.. Much better now. Gravel dust adds up quickly. About perished from the heat in a 1/4 mi gear-thru. The sun is gonna melt us. I'll gladly free and expunge this handy lil' can of Copper Trail Hopper Trail WCIPA. Salute!

 

I'll join BVS in enjoying a delicious Fall beverage smack in the middle of summer!



Cheers to the pre-season?!

 

Enegren - The Lightest One
Helles Lager and cross posting this sucker BA

 

Perpetual IPA excellent brew from Troegs brewing in Hershey PA. Troegs is a brewery that in my case has been lost in the flood of new breweries. This IPA reminds me of just how good they are.

 

Good afternoon, all! Lunch and a flight at PIVO, Calmar, IA. (l-r) Alta Vista Alt; Nashua Little Brown; Froehlich Märzen; Spillville Imperial Bootlegger Ale. Paired with a Cuban panini and kimchee. Cheers!
